This actually isn't my video. I had a friend over the other day and he pretty much hogged my PC the entire time. After a few games of Age of Empires 2 he wanted to play FEAR, seeing as it was the only shooter I had installed. I loaded up the funeral home from Extraction Point, used console commands to increase the slow mo and unlock all weapons. Then I set it to extreme difficulty and told him to go nuts. After a while he started recording the shootouts and editing them together. Told me I should upload it. No idea if you guys will like this, but I found it quite cool how the game keeps playing differently. Anyways, here's a link to my last video in case you missed it th-cam.com/video/dCJNL4QsI5U/w-d-xo.html Apparently it didn't reach everyone's sub page.
I've played through every game and it's expansions (except fear 3 or course, that game is awful)and I've never seen that happen. It never ceases to amaze me.
Bingus, those dual machine pistols, along with an automatic shotgun, are weapons exclusive to the console versions of fear. The machine pistols sometimes replace the rpl smg spawns.
people keep talking about the great AI but every time I played FEAR it was all the same. sure there were small veriables here and there but I never once saw sqwad members giving cover fire or anything other than flanking. this is FEAR for PC people are talking about rght?
@@dsandoval9396 Late comment, but I noticed it quite a lot. You get frequently pinned down by enemy fire and enemies called out all the time when they were giving support. Maybe you're killing them too fast? Also are you playing FEAR 3? That has the worst AI.
@@odinson4184 FEAR 3 has the worst AI!? Awe man! That sucks! I was looking forward to that one too some day. (I have a POS laptop and I was going to get a better one later). I've played 1 and 2 but I was referring to 1. I keep hearing/reading how 1 has great AI but when I play it it just seems meh. Sometimes they're easy, sometimes they're a little hard (not TOO hard) and I always play on the hardest difficulty. They flank and pin me down at times but it seems completely random and nothing to do with actual tactics. I mean, there's no clear time I have seen that they act intelligently as the times they do manage to hold me up for a while seems by coincidence because when I die/reload their tactics in the same area will seem dumb, not intelligent at all. Or when I play an area that was tough the last time around is now unchallenging and easy now. As I said, there seems to be NO intelligence in their actions and any difficulty spike seems like random coincidence. I'll play it again and maybe I'll pick up on it this time, I don't know.
maybe you have some compatibility problems? keep in mind F.E.A.R is an old game that might have problems to run in new PC's. it's weird that the base game runs fine but the expansion doesn't.
The funeral home is my favourite part of the yearly FEAR + XP runthrough. Dynamic entry into a crowded room that isn't a contextual button press cutscene should be a more common thing in FPSs. FEAR is probably the closest to The Raid of all first person rooty-tooty-point-and-shooties out there.
Well, Fear's level design is one of its weaknesses. Office, scientific complex, abandoned house, office. All this is very depressing. However, the environment of the levels is great for shooting with enemies, because after that you forget about this drawback.
This game is amazing. It shows you things in your perspective and perception firstly then it shows theirs afterwards. You can see that at 1:23. It goes like: [slowmo] "Fuuuuuuck" bang bang bang bang and then the camera shows you the normal speed a "Fuck" telling you everything happened the same speed as they said "a normal "Fuck"
t850terminator Agreed. This is one game that I would buy again if it were given a graphical makeover. If it got a proper sequel I'd buy it at launch. For the time being, I'm gonna reinstall and shoot all the mans.
I remember how some reviews talked about how the game had too many repetitive environments, which coupled with it's long length (I think it was somewhere close to like 13-15 hours) made it get boring by the end. Now, I don't know about them, but there's no way this would bore me.
Reviewers had no idea how good FEAR was at the time. Everyone thought single player FPS was just going to get more creative and intelligent, especially after Half Life 2. Then CoD became massive popular for it's set pieces and fast multiplayer with sprint button, it's never been the same.
All this is due to the shooting, the game has a very pleasant shooting, plus effects such as blurring, discarding particles and others, are great for levels in enclosed spaces. But unfortunately the reviewer didn't give a fuck about it, so the game was rated with negligible ratings
I fucking love Scissor Kicks. Also slide kicking dudes to wedge them into rooftop hvac units, walls, doorframes, furniture, the ceiling, assorted physics debris.
Fine. Godamnitt fine. I'll subscribe. I've seen every kind of gaming channel. I've seen every trick shot video and quick scope competition. I've seen every kinda let's play and speed run out there. But this...this is something new. You've earned my sub.
I definitely thought this was because you saw this video: th-cam.com/video/q8a6M4W9xJk/w-d-xo.html By GVMERS. I really do love this game and how it nailed so many different aspects of a great FPS.
I never played extraction point but I did really love the original. I even liked 2 to a lesser degree. Currently playing FEAR 3 for the first time (almost finished) and its definitely nothing like the rest, it feels very much like a dumbed down FEAR, reminds me of how I felt about Crysis 2 compared to its original. Console style design, highly restricted. We need more shooters like the original fear being made today.
Holy shit it looks really good even better than most of todays shooters. Weapon choice, enemy reactions to getting shot, environmental destruction to some degree, smooth movement both on players and enemy side.
This game is a legend. The A.I. , the level design. The scary parts. Music. God I wish I could play this on my ps4. Or Black. Those are my top favourites. ❤
I have NEVER seen the AI to take cover lying down on the ground EVER! This is the best Single Player shooter for me. I want remake with even more modern graphics.
Haven't played FEAR 2 or FEAR 3, remember enjoying the old ones so much over a decade ago decided to finally install and play the newer series. Had them deleted by the end of the day. Sometimes you just don't have time to sit and figure out where it all went wrong.
months ago I uploaded a whole playthrough of f.e.a.r. on youtube... that was my second run of the game. Now I'm at my 6th run and when I look back at those videos I'm like "this is terrible. what was I thinking?"
Oh sweet, a new upload. Hey now that I'm early, will you be making more X is Ridiculous vids? I love games that make frenetic, bonkers, high octane combat through whatever means, even if modded like Max Payne.
Rabbit's Respawn : My tastes are very...singular. Me : Enlighten me, then. [later] Me : bro wtf there is nothing but fire extinguishers in your pleasure room what is wrong with you
alanb:) Aim down sight isn't a bad thing. games should give you the option. for precise headshots, aim down sight, for everything else, running and gunning and such, the crosshair should be enough. also, you do realize in this game, many of the weapons allow you to hold a button which brings the gun right up to your eye? it's pretty much ads.
0:19 Is anyone else annoyed by the ballistics of the a buckshot round here. Buckshot has very poor armour penetration, it is something that can't even penetrate a Level I Bulletproof Vest (the cheapest on the market), and yet it somehow manages to shoot through and instakill two heavily armoured soldiers here.
My only gripe about this game is that i cant go dual pistol ninja throughout the entire game because there arent enough ammo spawns for them to my knowledge. Ghost fact: Did you know? Ghosts like shopping carts.

Holy fucking sweet shit! The gun at 3:29 is fucking inane.
AND A SKELETON POPPED OUT! is my favorite FEAR weapon
I should have known! Rabbit never gets killed.
You have Age of Empires 2?
You're man of culture, I see.
Yeah it can be easily seen it's not Rabbit playing as player in this video because player is taking hits which Rabbit never do.
That sunovabitch pretended to be dead and then stood up? Holy fuck, these are professionals.
I've played through every game and it's expansions (except fear 3 or course, that game is awful)and I've never seen that happen. It never ceases to amaze me.

Counter Chicken Same here, the F.E.A.R series can be played numerous times without getting bored.
I assume he dodged the grenade and because of this was lying on the floor.
Yep, he was still taking cover from the granade the player tossed @0:43
This game was so ahead of its time. The AI still surprises me with its intelligence even by today's standards.
Amen
I wish today's standards weren't so damn low though. If an enemy runs away from a grenade, that's considered good AI today.
Watch Game Maker's Toolkit video on "AI" and he covers FEAR.
There's another fantastic video by Turbo Button on FEAR's level design.
Sherman
I'm pretty sure that A.I is the very hardest thing to program.
its 50% good immersive ai and 50% leveldesign that the ai can use really well to make them seam more real. think the dev said something like that
One of the greatest action shooters ever made. Honestly I can't understand why no one tried to bring this formula back.
freeman you traitor
go back to black mesa
Well there is Trepang 2
@@Jsinebdjsmdbej You hit the nail right on the head. Trepang2 has the over the top gore, but lacks the AI, the creepy atmosphere, and the lore.
Basically in every video Rabbit shows that any good old game can be a SUPER fun old game
MedAL...
0:48 WTF? A.I. faking death? That's insane!
"I live *AGAIN!*"
Its frequently happen in game,Smart Fear A.i

there are so many particles, it feels like my pc is stuttering even from watching the vid
It runs like a dream, the only performance issue I ever had was the polling rate on my Logitech mouse causing the frame rate to be locked at 30 fps
and it actually is a pretty well optimized game
maybe you have some compatibility problems? keep in mind F.E.A.R is an old game that might have problems to run in new PC's. it's weird that the base game runs fine but the expansion doesn't.
@@theavidgamer6213 It's probably just that Extraction Point is badly optimized.
People use to benchmark this on their systems before Crysis came out... Only two years later.
FEAR 1, what a masterpiece :)
G.O.A.T
i tried doing what your Friend did...
well it didn't end that good
The funeral home is my favourite part of the yearly FEAR + XP runthrough.

FEAR is probably the closest to The Raid of all first person rooty-tooty-point-and-shooties out there.
took me a while to realize we're playing the exact same scene all over again and again until 3:05. testament to good game design.
Well, Fear's level design is one of its weaknesses. Office, scientific complex, abandoned house, office. All this is very depressing. However, the environment of the levels is great for shooting with enemies, because after that you forget about this drawback.
It's so cool that the AI even tries to fake their death to catch you off guard. This game is brilliantly awesome.
Best shotgun of any fps ever, period!
This shows that you don't need procedural generation to have variation in your playthroughs.
This hits different after Starfield
F.E.A.R. The pinnacle of the FPS genre.
John Wick simulator
*John Woo
Taterino u know, there are moments you shouldn't take life too serious
Taterino you for sure like to seem ultra intelligent huh
pooper scooper calm the fuck down and join taterino's fight.
More like if John Wick was any good
I have never been so happy for a TH-camr's return to constant uploads 😍😍
This game is amazing. It shows you things in your perspective and perception firstly then it shows theirs afterwards. You can see that at 1:23. It goes like:
[slowmo] "Fuuuuuuck"
bang bang bang bang

F. E. A. R. is seriously one of the best shooters I've ever played. My only wish is that it was as easily moddable as the classic doom games.
Same
There *still* hasn't been a shotgun with a sound as beefy and satisfying as the one in F.E.A.R.
Some classical music would be perfect to go along with this carnage.
No wonder people praise about the games AI. It's was ahead of its time.
its ahead of current time too. No other shooter has AI as good.
0:27 "he wiped out the w-" *IMPLODES*
I wish we could get a FEAR 2.
I mean an actual sequel, not a failed abortion.
t850terminator couldn't agree more F.E.A.R. 2 was dumbed down garbage.
t850terminator F.E.A.R. 2 wasn't a bad game. F.3.A.R. however was a terrible game.
F.E.A.R 1 is still the best in the trilogy however.
t850terminator Agreed. This is one game that I would buy again if it were given a graphical makeover. If it got a proper sequel I'd buy it at launch. For the time being, I'm gonna reinstall and shoot all the mans.
What about F.E.A.R Online? That game was da bomb ;P
Yeah man F.E.A.R was and still is such a top notch FPS. Shame it's sequels were farts in the breeze.
I remember how some reviews talked about how the game had too many repetitive environments, which coupled with it's long length (I think it was somewhere close to like 13-15 hours) made it get boring by the end. Now, I don't know about them, but there's no way this would bore me.

0:51 THEY PLAY DEAD?! i've never seen that before!
He just got stunned ... Saw that animation couple of times ... Is rare
Necromorphs know how to play dead - but Replicas lie on the floor and get back up simply because of F.E.A.R's ragdoll physics.
Fine. Godamnitt fine. I'll subscribe. I've seen every kind of gaming channel. I've seen every trick shot video and quick scope competition. I've seen every kinda let's play and speed run out there. But this...this is something new. You've earned my sub.
Today's developers need to use the first F.E.A.R game as an example for pushing boundaries in the quality of games.
0:50 "bamboozled!" - that guy on the ground probably.
I'm stuck on this part because I keep quick loading this section lol seriously love the game and it's expansions
this is why F.E.A.R and F.E.A.R are the best for games ever made.
I definitely thought this was because you saw this video: th-cam.com/video/q8a6M4W9xJk/w-d-xo.html By GVMERS. I really do love this game and how it nailed so many different aspects of a great FPS.

"Shit! I think he's down."- faceless soldier 2017
A remake of this game would be incredible.
better textures and better reload anims would totally be radical
That replicant you knock on his ass that like quickly spun up and around to get you was funny. Dont think ive seen that in here before lol
cool video also cool to see the welcome change from the previous channel art lol
Holy shit it looks really good even better than most of todays shooters.
Weapon choice, enemy reactions to getting shot, environmental destruction to some degree, smooth movement both on players and enemy side.
gotta love old games like this
bought this game on sale the other day and had a blast rushing through it
Those slowed down "Fuck!" and "Shit!" are hilarious
Holy fuck, this guy wrecks every fucking game he plays.
0:28 “He wiped out the who- *BOOM*
This game is a legend. The A.I. , the level design. The scary parts. Music.
God I wish I could play this on my ps4. Or Black. Those are my top favourites. ❤
This is what makes a good singleplayer game.
GOOD AI.
video game that developed with feauture John Wick gun shootout + Max Payne bullet time + F.E.A.R. slow mo mechanic = ultra epic
I've been saying for months now that we need a F.E.A.R 4 or at least a r vamp of the series.
3:19 "My only regret... is that I have boneitis!"
Fantastic montage
how have i never played this that gun fucking turned them into skeletons holy shoot
FEAR is quite simply my favorite FPS.
I have NEVER seen the AI to take cover lying down on the ground EVER! This is the best Single Player shooter for me. I want remake with even more modern graphics.
What a beautiful game. I miss it.
Am i the only one who enjoys the cork board rocking back and forth?
I fucking love the storyline.
Haven't played FEAR 2 or FEAR 3, remember enjoying the old ones so much over a decade ago decided to finally install and play the newer series.
Had them deleted by the end of the day. Sometimes you just don't have time to sit and figure out where it all went wrong.
Agreed.
i remember buying this game in 2006 and i was like oh this cover looks nice.... thank you 10 year old me....
Your friend has a great tastle.
Man, this game still looks good today
The AI of Fear games are 10 years ahead of their times
months ago I uploaded a whole playthrough of f.e.a.r. on youtube... that was my second run of the game.
Now I'm at my 6th run and when I look back at those videos I'm like "this is terrible. what was I thinking?"
5:50 that was so satisfying haha
Very cinematic !
they should make a rainbow six siege game with this ai in terrorist hunt
This is my favorite section of any FEAR game. Also no game has a better shotgun.
Frog on Chair amen to that. the shotgun punch in FEAR always put a smile on my face.
Oh sweet, a new upload. Hey now that I'm early, will you be making more X is Ridiculous vids? I love games that make frenetic, bonkers, high octane combat through whatever means, even if modded like Max Payne.
I'm pretty confident there will be more Is Ridiculous videos
Any chance you could be doing a dishonored 2 video soon?
When are we geting a F.E.A.R. Redux???
the particle effects in this game are fucking mad
also gun sounds are on point as well, fuck why haven't i played this game lmao
Fear has more weapons than any new COD game.
Rabbit's Respawn : My tastes are very...singular.
Me : Enlighten me, then.

One of the best games ever made. Only thing it lacked was some limited bullet pen.
Well, now I just wanna play FEAR now. Game is still fun
Glorious fist attack
Ragdoll on point
Forgot how good this game is.
Hey I'm from NZ (Auckland). I click on your videos as if youtube videos can run out like hot cakes.
Fear is the best survival horror game ever in my opinion
this game was is better than most modern fbs
4:04 Homelander enters chat
This game I must really missed out on, hope I can go get it sometime.
Jesus Christ i need to get F.E.A.R. again.
Whole Fear series on bundle stars for only $5, GO GET IT NOW!
See how fun and exciting these games were without aim down sight.

I actually have Extraction Point installed for the sole purpose of replaying the church office area.
3:14
I can see why people call this a horror game. Those are some spooky skeletons.
This area with John Wick music 😌😌
Any chance you could be doing a dishonored 2 video soon?
Still might be a while. Dishonored & I are on a break.
Rabbit's Respawn could it be because of the shitty performance Dishonored 2 has on PC?
The VK-12 shotgun is simply one of the best shotguns I ve ever used
Yeah this games AI is awesome, too bad it wasnt made so well in other shooters
Shotgun is op as fuck in fear, last time i did a run without using any shotguns.
To the soldiers you were def more deadly than alma ever was
0:19 Is anyone else annoyed by the ballistics of the a buckshot round here. Buckshot has very poor armour penetration, it is something that can't even penetrate a Level I Bulletproof Vest (the cheapest on the market), and yet it somehow manages to shoot through and instakill two heavily armoured soldiers here.
let's just say it's armor-piercing :>
Still playing in 2017 only this time I can play it in VR :)
I remember this game it was crazy good and pretty creepy
Squad check in! ARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH LOL
So which one of those soldiers is experiencing Groundhogs day?
My only gripe about this game is that i cant go dual pistol ninja throughout the entire game because there arent enough ammo spawns for them to my knowledge. Ghost fact: Did you know? Ghosts like shopping carts.
you are best player all games
I would've watched this all the same if it was just the MP-50 Repeating Cannon every time. XD
I want to see you play Killing Floor 2. That would be something to see.
